Making the comments field Required in the Workitem

Hello,
I have a GP Application wherein the initiator fills out a form which goes to the Approver using Visual Approval Callable Object.........now when the approver opens the workitem he sees the information entered by the initiator and a comments field at the bottom......we want to make this field required for them.......how can we achieve this.....while creation of the Visual Approval Callable Object i see the comments as a output parameter with the 'Is Required' checkbox option....but it is disabled and does not allow you to select it......Please help...
Any help would be highly appreciated...
Regards,
Anil

Hi Anil,
Standard Visual Approval CO doesnt work like that.
Either you can create your own CO.
OR
i can suggest you as follows, but it is making little complicated process.
1. Create one Action with Business Logic callable object, which will check for Comment EQ space or not and have 2 different states.
a. If Comments is blank, Go back to Approval Action
b. If Comments is entered, Proceed for further actions.
2. Set this action as target for Approval Action.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Tejaswini

How can I make the comments field appear when the operator is debugging a test?

When a test is being written the comments field is being utilized for information relating to what the test is doing and how to solve certain problems that arise. It is basically a quick place for the technician to look at when they are attempting to debug a board. However it appears when you view the sequence files these are off to the right side of the screen but when running the debug engine and the technician sets a break point then these comments are no longer visible to the user off to the right of the screen. Is there any way to have it include the comment in the data displayed when tracing through a test step by step. The technician can double click on each step but it would be alot mor
e user friendly and timly if these could be displayed just to the right of the execution flow column.

Hello John,
I assume you are talking about the sequence editor. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to view the comments associated with a step inside of the execution display window (i.e during run-time). If you are using the operator interface, then you may extract the comment associated with a step and post a custom UI message that contains this information. The operator interface can then be modified to respond to this UIMessage and update its display accordingly.
To post a UIMessage with this data, you must first obtain a PropertyObject reference to the step you are trying to extract the comment from. Then use the "Comment" property of the PropertyObject class to obtain the comment value.
Unfortunately, the Sequence Editor discards all custo
m UIMessages, and you will have no way of viewing the comment using the above method.
Hope this helps.

Is the username field required in the URI Scheme?

The URL scheme does seem to work now just like RDP files but it does not work if I leave the username field blank. I can enter the domain in username field but cannot get a "\" included. I would ideally like it to be blank. Also, SSO
does not work.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Enabling a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme gives IT professionals and developers a way to integrate features of the Remote Desktop clients across platforms and enriches the user experience by allowing:
1. Third-party applications to launch Microsoft Remote Desktop and start remote sessions with predefined settings (provided as part of the URI string.)
2. End users to start remote connections using pre-configured URLs.

IPhoto still won't make web pages using the comments field

I am someone who makes use of the comments field in iPhoto. I don't edit the title, because I thought it edited the photo file name (perhaps only in earlier iPhoto versions). Unfortunately, the Apple's tools for making a web page from iPhoto '08 seem to still use the title field only and not the comment field. That means that I have to edit all titles (to blank or a proper title) if I just want to show an annotation on just a few photos in a web page. At least the comments field defaults to blank, so I normally use it, along with the Better HTML plugin to make web pages, http://www.geeksrus.com/software/betterhtmlexport/
Now, the web pages produced by Apple are now as good as and even better than the BHTML templates, and I'd like to use them. But this problem with the comments means I can't quickly convert my old photo albums to something that makes nice web pages using my annotations with the iPhoto tools.
Does anybody know of any solutions to this problem? E.g. a script to copy the comments field to the title field?

I know what you mean. I can't believe that after so many versions of iPhoto that have supported publishing of some sort that such a basic and obvious feature still hasn't been implemented. It can't take that much effort to add. I'd rather have that than the new (and IMHO completely useless) "Events" feature. Speaking of which, does anyone know if there is a way to turn it off? It's annoying the heck outta me. I hate it.

Where does iTunes keep the "comments" field info?

I've lost all the comments I recently entered for a particular CD
and I need to figure out what file iTunes keeps that infomation in
so I can get only that file out of a recent back up.
This info is not in the file titled "iTunes Music Library.xml" is it?
I looked in there by opening it in TextEdit but that didn't seem to be
the file so it must be kept someplace else. UgH!@

Matthew,
thanks for the quick reply but...
I have not actually ripped a song so this info can not be in the song file.
Here is what i have going :
I put in the CD and I have titled each track to give it a descriptive name and
further added comments to the comments fields.
I eject the CD.
When I insert the CD again, all this info shows there again, it's like
iTunes just knows it's this CD and what the song titles are etc.
So this song title and commments info couldn't be part of the song file because the songs are still on the CD and iTunes can't make a change on the CD, it's a commercial write protected CD, know what I mean?
Also, the song title and comments info isn't kept in the "iTunes Music Library.xml" because iTunes shows song titles and comments that are
not in this file when I search in it with TextEdit. This is making me nuts!

How to read the comment field of the Leave of absence Workflow.

Hi,
I have attached a custom Workflow template to the
Standard class "CL_HRASR00_WF_PROCESS_OBJECT" and event "TRIGGERED" for my Personal leave of absence approval.
During the Workflow step, once the approval goes to the final approval step and it is there in the Benifit Administrator's inbox (Portal) for approval, the Benift Admin is having an option of Withdrawing the process(Withdraw Process button). After filling the comments field, once he clicks this withdraw button the standard class "CL_HRASR00_WF_PROCESS_OBJECT" event "WITHDRAWN" gets triggered and it calls a separate workflow.
I need to capture this comment in the new Workflow but not able to do the same.
Can anyone let me know how can I do this. The event container does have any parameter to pass this value to the workflow container. And since the Step_Object GUID also changes I am unable to read it in the second workflow.
Looking for some real help as this has become critical for the project.
Thanks is andvace.

Hi All,
Thanks for your reply Trevor, but I guess you misunderstood my question. What I am not looking for is not the absence data. Basically I need to capture the comments put in by the Benifit administrator in the Leave of absence application form (Personal or Maternity/child care ), incase when he goes for withdrawing the Application submitted by the Employee.
To elaborate it functionality step by step...
1. An employee logs on to portal and submits a LOA application with a few mandatory field ( Commencing date,Returning Date, Reason).
This kicks of a Workflow say WF1 attached to
ABAP Class- CL_HRASR00_WF_PROCESS_OBJECT, Event- TRIGGERED.
2. Then after executing a few tasks to retrive data it goes to the Manager for approval. Once the manager appoves it goes to the Benifit Administrator.
3. The Benifit Administrator can approve the application or has an option of withdrawing it.
4. In case the Benifit Administrator goes for Withdrawal, after putting some comments in the form, it triggers the Event-WITHDRAWN of ABAP Class-CL_HRASR00_WF_PROCESS_OBJECT.
5. This event in turn starts a new Workflow WF2.
6. In this Workflow WF2 I need to pull in the comments put in by the Benifit Admin.
How can I pull this comment?

Problems with the 'Comments' field in iTunes

First, sorry for my english (I'm danish).
I've read a lot of threads here and everywhere else, but can't find a solution for my exact problem. I use Windows Vista and the newest version of iTunes.
Most of my mp3 songs (35.000) are put directly in album folders to the folder 'D:My Music from another computer via a USB drive and the songs already have id3 tag information on them.
I then add the albums to iTunes and most of my tag information is now updated in iTunes. Names, Artists, Genre, Year, everything is okay. By the way the songs have ID3v2.3 tag information. I see that in my Mp3tag v.2.42 application.
But the problem is with the 'Comments' field:
Those tags (originally put to the songs directly in the proberties of the song in Windows Explorer) will simply not transfer to iTunes 'Comments' field. And if I write something in the iTunes 'Comments' field this will not show up in the fields properties in windows Explorer. It looks like the 'Comments' fields in iTunes and in the proberties in the song are not connected at all!?
I then found out, I could let iTunes convert the ID3 codes, but nothing happens except from when using v. 1.0 or 1.1, because then the comments tag are transferres, but unfortunately all the tags will only show 30 characters!!!
And there's also a different story:
A few albums though are put directly on my computer by using iTunes to import the CD. These songs have ID3 v.2.2 tags, so I guess iTunes import files in that format?
And here it's a little different story. If I put comment data directly to the file proberties in Windows Explorer (after the CD's been imported to iTunes), the comments will show up in iTunes, but only as several 0 and 1 digits! On the other hand, if I put information directly in iTunes 'Comments' field it wil show up correctly in the file proberties! But it's only a few songs/albums that are handled that way.
Well, bottom's line, I want to see my comments tags (which are allready there in the song's proberties) when I browse my music in my folders in Windows Explorer and I want to see the exact same comments if I go to browse my music in iTunes. That should not be a problem ... but it is not ...
Can I please get a solution or at least an explanation, and hopefully in not too tecnical terms.

I, too, hope someone will answer this! I am hoping to catalog my entire CD collection in iTunes and I want to include the storage box number somehow, thinking that "comments" would be a good place to do so. If I cannot do that I'll try to find a program other than iTumes to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions on this topic? ...perhaps I need to open a new thread?
THANKS!

How is the comments field populated in RCV_SHIPMENT_LINES?

I am working for a client who is using OPM extensively. When we create the internal requisition, create the internal sales order and perform the reveive, the comments field in RCV_SHIPMENT_LINES is populated with OPM:<delivery detail ID>. This functionality is working fine in 11i. We are no working on R12 upgrade for the client. In R12, the comments field is populated as NULL in RCV_SHIPMENT_LINES. I would like to know whether this is the seeded functionality in 11i. If so, what is changed in R12. Please let me know.

I figured it out. I have to change the Leave Codes field to visible and not read-only. Then close Form Editing. I can then get to the field and from there I can copy the field entry over to Word to edit it. Then copy it back in to the Leave Code field, go back to Form Editing, and put it back to Hidden and Read-only. It was so easy once I knew the trick :-) Of course.

Needed: Script to copy Photo album name into the comments field for pix

I was never in the habit of applying anything to photo comments, but gave my albums a desriptive name so I knew what they were. Now I wish I had because album titles are not searchable. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to create an Automator workflow or Applescript that could take the Album Name and apply it to the comments field for each picture in the album. I have over 25,000 pictures and quite a few albums. I've started to do it manually for each album but would love to find a quicker way to accomplish this.
Thanks.

This should do the trick for you:
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "iPhoto"
set theAlbums to (every album)
repeat with thisAlbum in theAlbums
set thisAlbumName to the name of thisAlbum
set thePhotos to (every photo of thisAlbum)
repeat with thisPhoto in thePhotos
set comment of thisPhoto to thisAlbumName
end repeat
end repeat
end tell</pre>
FYI, it will step through every album; get its name; and then step through every photo in the album and change the comments to the album's name.
I recommend that you make a back-up before proceeding!

Is it possible to update the comments field once receiving is done

Hi All,
Can anyone of You help on this.
We have done the receiving against one PO. The material is receipt and delivered in the Inventory.
User has enter in-correct details in the comment field (both at header and line level) during receiving.
Now we need to update the comments section with some new commnets.
Apart from backend/ database update, is it possible to update the comments section since receiving is already done. Please suggest some alternate option.
Thanks
Sujay

Hi Sujay,
You won't be able to update the comments once received.
Alternate approach: Perform correction transactions to reverse all the receiving transactions and re-receive again entering correct comments.
Thanks,
PS.

Strange "code" in the Comments field when playing songs

When I play some songs (probably 80% of my archive) iTunes generate some strange code in the Comments field. This is quite annoying, since I use the field to write additional info about the song, artist, location, whatever.
Examples of such codes:
" 00000244 00000000 000010B3 00000000 00022325 00000000 000057AD 00000000 00004E37 00000000"
" 0000014C 00000151 00000551 00000580 0001119E 0001119E 00003C73 0000379B 0001D4D7 0001D4D7"
and so on...
How can I stop this generation of random numbers and letters in the comments field?
null

Ick.... Well, maybe you're right. I also turned off "let itunes keep things organized" at about the same time. Between turning off sound check, itunes organizing, and the WMP settings, I have never seen it happen again.
I still think it was WMP, as I only open WMP rarely to listen to web clips and I noticed it had happened to some tracks I had not played in itunes for years, and it happened right after that WMP update. I'd had the sound check and itunes organization thing on for years.
One thing we can agree on, it was totally random. No rhyme or reason to it, and I even noticed that it didn't even affect all the tracks on some albums.
I just turned sound check back on, only on my Mac, because that is just my backup copy of files. We'll see if it hits again.
edit-(it's determining sound volume on x of 393, weird, I have over 27000 tracks in my library)

Using ms project 2007 and vba macro to list all the custom fields used in the project?

Hi,Using ms project 2007 vba macro, I would like to be able to list all the custom fields used in the project and their corresponding field names. e.g. let us say I create a calculated duration field and name it "expected duration" and the name
of the field I select is Duration1.
I am trying to write a macro that will list all the used custom fields such as the result would look like:
Duration1 ---> "expected duration"
Text1 ---> "anything"
Flag1 ---> "....."
Number1 ---> "..............."
Can anyone provide me with the solution?
Regards,
Chuck

John,
I found this module, which provides the the list of custom fields used in the project but does not provide the name given to the field. Here below is the module and hope you could help me achieve this by modifying the macro to list the renamed field.

Sub checkfields2()
'This macro will check and report out which custom task fields are used
'It requires Project 2002 and above as it relies on the GetField
'and FieldNameToFieldConstant methods which were not introduced until
'2002.
'It does not include resource fields, however it is a simple matter to
'do it by replacing the pjTask constant with pjResource.

Powerpivot pivottable - I can't add or drag a "value field" from the pivottable field list into the "values" section.

I built a pivottable using Powerpivot.
Initially, I can add or drag any data field I want to columns, Rows or the Values area inside the field list (those 4 squares). However, as times goes by...suddenly... I just no longer can add or drag a "value field" from the pivottable field list into the
"values" section.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem ?

Hi Bin Long,
I tried what you suggested.
I believe that there is a glitch in the Powerpivot field list (where you find the 4 squares for columns, rows, values, filter)
When I initially create a pivottable with powerpivot, everything works fine when I am adding field list items to the the columns, rows, values sections, filters.
However.....IF I close the powerpivot field list or if I save and close the excel file...then I cannot add more items to the "values" section.
I can comment about one thing that seems different in my powerpivot field list. When I can no longer add items to the "values" section, I realized that in the TOP section of the field list I see in bold letters a summary of the items that are SUM ∑ in the "values"
section.
Does anybody know how to fix this ?
Thanks.

Making a form field required when another field is selected

I have a contact form with the usual fields required (name, address, city, etc.). I'm adding a Country pull-down list to the form, which will default to the US being selected. Since a "State" field is not relevant for anyone filling out the form from another country, I'd like to make the State field required only if the country selected is United States, and not required for any other country. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
R-Co

What you need is to be able to create a required textfield when the first textfield shows USA and destroy the required field when another country is selected.
